Geek is probably a more fitting description, nerds by definition are socially awkward, Eve is a social game therefore nerds do not fit in here.


Only a geek would try to call himself a nerd, geek.

Let's be honest here, tear-extraction is a game nerds play to bring some sort of relevance to their shallow, nerdy existence.

I thought people did it because it was hilarious to see other nerds get all butt hurt about a video game. Welp, might have to revise my assessment, huh?

Excuse me?

Where did I label myself a nerd?

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

a better question might be how will you afford ships when there are no more miners Lol

the answer to your question is easy, fly procurers, they arent worth ganking now by a margin of 150m:8m. Adding a 1-2m bounty payout to a gank that was going to cost 150m to kill an 8m isk ship doesnt make it profitable

adding a 140m payout to gank a 700m orca, which should be tanked to ~175k ehp+/- (requiring 800m +/- to gank) doesnt make it profitable

pissing away a plex worth of isk on a random stranger only makes sense until your mom takes her credit card away from you

You are about to engage in an arguement with a forum alt,  this is your final warning.

Come Retribution, how will having a bounty on your mining character effect your mining? Will it change how or if you mine?

I'm just curious how the new bounty system might effect mining in high sec.


Do you really think the new bounty will effect high sec miner's? Even with a bounty on there ship/ heads you still have high sec rules and concord to deal with so the new bounty will not effect high sec mining one bit in my book.

It can make ganking profitable. If the miner is being particularly bad at tanking. Clearly an exploit.

So coming from a goon still dont mean much.

Unless goons plan to put bountys on all the shipings to make it worth it. I know goons have deep pockets but is goons willing to but a over 1 trillion out in bountys so gankers can get payed? I know goons have deep pocket but then there's cant be that deep.

If they are give me a bill right now and ill gank my hear out.

But wait even for hulkaggend goons did not come close on a tril total pay out.

So apparently the urge to 'bump' miners and an obsession with their urine are synonymous? Never stop posting, laughter is good for the soul lol.

This has been covered already earlier in this thread. Cheap ships with high EHP will be bounty gank proof. Like the Procurer.
This is because the ganker only get 20% of the value of the cheap ship in a bounty payout. And he needs to spend quite a bit to gank a high EHP ship like the procurer. That 20% bounty will not close the gap enough to make it profitable.
Meantime farm off the bounties. Not a big deal. And plan ahead for this. Can make farming the bounties even more profitable.
